NC, PDP and Cong will be wiped out even from Valley: Modi

Jammu: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday slammed the opposition parties in Jammu and Kashmir for claiming that BJP will not be able open an account in Kashmir Valley, saying "Kashmir-centric" parties will in fact draw a blank in the region.

Referring to reported statements of NC, Congress and PDP leadership recently that BJP will not get even a single seat from Kashmir, Modi said,"When I read the statements of NC, PDP and Congress these days, I feel astonished about on them (for regional bias)".

"These parties are resorting to statements that BJP will not get even a seat from Kashmir. Why this use of language of discrimination? Why use of this language of separating Kashmir from Jammu. Is their behaviour is right?" Modi asked.

The Prime Minister said that these parties will be wiped out even from Kashmir and Ladakh.

"Does it suit these parties to speak of a regional divide in terms of the Kashmir Valley and the Jammu region? I must tell these leaders that the people of the state have sealed their political future for good," he said.

Raking up the alleged discrimination with the Jammu region, Modi said,"I was listening to the people about the discrimination being meted out to them by 'Kashmir-centric' parties during my previous visits here as party leader.

"Their problems and step-motherly treatment given to them by Kashmir-centric rulers".

The Prime Minister appealed the people of the Jammu region, from where 20 seats are going to the poll in the last phase, to ensure that none of the "Kashmir-centric" parties are not able to open an account.

Modi, who visited Jammu and Kashmir five times, addressed rally in Jammu's MAM stadium to woo the voters of Jammu, Rajouri and Kathua going to polls on December 20.

He urged people to break all the previous records of voting and give a befitting reply to gun by pressing the buttons of EVM machine.
